SUZUKI Suzuki Violin 280 3/4 Anno 2000 Even older models have stable wood and are characterized by their solid construction. With a bright and core-filled sound, it uses high-quality spruce (top plate) and maple (back plate) similar to higher-end models, and compared to entry-level models like No. 210 and No. 230, you can enjoy a richer sound with more depth and volume. The bow is an ARCHET, a mid-grade model slightly higher than the standard. It boasts high durability and operability, and often uses hard woods such as ebony for the fingerboard and pegs, ensuring tuning stability and playability. Also, it has high reliability in educational settings, and is often recommended as a "designated instrument" in music schools and school club activities, making it a model that teachers trust. *Please note that this item is also listed on other sites and may be removed without notice once it is sold.
